The Christian Life
How to Live the Christian Life - What to Do and Expect


The Christian Life is simple really.  It's getting to know God and his plan for your life and then to take steps to fulfill that plan -Your Ultimate Destiny!  Some call this the "Christian Walk"

His plan is on a much higher plane than what we would envision for ourselves.  The bible states that God knows the plans He has for you. Plans to prosper you and to give you a hope and a future and  to bring you to an expected end!  It  also states that "eye has not seen nor  ear heard nor has  entered into the heart of man the things that God has in planned for those who love Him  Cool  Future!

How to  live  The Christian  Life:

Every part of the Christian experience is appropriated by faith, that is trust in (taking action upon) God's Word, the Bible, and His leading by the Holy Spirit's voice within our
conscience. The  Holy Spirit will never disagree with the Word of God.. The "Faith Walk" is a learning and growing experience that we will always be involved in.  We  never arrive, we just keep growing getting wiser and stronger and experience an ever increasing abundant and full life. That is the fun part!  It's not always easy though, change can sometimes be very painful.

1.  Prayer:  Prayer is simply talking with God. As we talk to God he gives response to us:

Through The  Holy Spirit in our conscience ( a still quiet voice) 
Revelation  (the ah hah!)   (Godly Revelation always lines up with Bible truth)
Wisdom  (Illumination or understanding that we did not learn)
Other people's words and actions
Our own words and actions
Circumstances in our lives
The Creation

2.  The Word of God:  The Bible is the final authority on all issues.

When we make this decision we enter into a supernatural (not spectacular) dimension of living.
When we obey God's Commandments and the instructions of the Bible, we live at a higher plane or quality of life than we would naturally. God's word is so infiltrated in our daily living that  all of us do some of it anyway. But we can learn to apply it more effectively thought study and application. This is how we experience God's best for us on an individual basis.
Most of the important doctrines of the Bible are so redundant that there is no need for  "interpretation"  Takes steps with the knowledge you already have and more will be given to you. 

3.  Worship and Praise:  God created us to have fellowship with Him. He seeks our praise.

He wants our adulation, in words, in music and song, in getting along with others, in being peacemakers, in being obedient, in loving others in doing right, and in loving mercy. He is not a severe taskmaster, Everything he commands us is ultimately for our and others ultimate good. He is also very merciful and forgives endlessly. He is not selfish with praise and honor He gives it to us too.  For instance, if you do something right according to the Word, you will be
honored by others.  Obvious example: Martin Luther King

4. Obedience:  When we obey what is already written we are partaking of His nature and plan.

God fulfills His will through us. He does it through our obedience, our willful choosing to do what He already established in His Word and by following Jesus example. His will is primarily twofold. To seek and save those who don't know him and to create abundant living for those who will become disciples (learner followers) to restore His original intentions for us both
individually and as a race.

5. Restoration:   God wants the absolute best for us in every area of life.
